Well you found your way here . . . maybe by next year you will lay out some great chow for the the super bowl party you will host.
Best of luck.
Best of luck.
incredible looking jerky! Reckoner
Dinner tonight.. FAJITAS!! . Pure Corn tortillas (GMO FREE) , with layer of sour cream and avocado cilantro lime spread (mashed up with some pink salt).
marinated a grass fed flank in: fresh orange juice and lime juice, olive oil, cracked black pepper, pink salt, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno for 2 hours . (thanks mheusler for the inspiration)
browned it in the larger pan alongside onions and bell peppers, then finished in the oven quickly to be rested. My deba then made quick work of it!!
Simple, delicious.! Only downside is I had a bit to drink , and cut the first half of the 1st piece WITH the grain. So the first tortillas was chewy
as i was chewing i was like "wow my jaws getting weak". Was pretty funny, took down the rest of the meat in minutes after i realized
Oh and for the cast iron heads pans used are griswolds 14 and 5
Pictures!

Goodness I'm hungry . . . and dude has his fajita strips performing like the June Taylor dancers or Ester Williams and the synchronized swimmers.
Adam: That steak looks amazing (I think I should have steak soon, myself).
All the steaks, fajitas, meatballs, jerky, and sausages are amazing (apologies if I missed anything). This thread is always full of inspiration. I promised a photo of my bacon chop (with some potato salad, I had already taken a bite when I thought 'I should probably get a photo').
Sorry, the plate's a bit untidy:
The difference between this and a pork chop is that it is a cured bit of pork and I have let it dry out a bit (to concentrate the flavours for bacon) and it is dryer and firmer in texture than a loin chop of course. Quite flavourful and tasty, though. Perhaps a hint of smoke on the next batch would be nice.

In my neck of the woods, we have a name for a guy who slices his steak with a deba-
a tough guy!
Had a crazy superbowl feast. All homemade, dough, tomato sauce from '12 garden. So, a pepperoni roll, Chicago deep dish pizza, French onion soup, 1/2 rack of ribs, and a new dish we just saw on triple D, aroncini, which is a mixture of meatballs, risotto, and mozzerella, shaped into a large ball, then rolled in seasoned bread crumbs and deep fried. Wow! Are they good.
Thanks, Talal! Your steak images also inspire me to have a steak.
The bacon chop was delicious. I wish I had made more than 3!

Just trying a few things . . . using stuff from my pantry differently.
Fusilli salad with fried grape tomatoes and red peppers and a whole mess of Italian spice and crumbled feta.
My wife couldn't wait (I was making beef curry and rice) this was her meal. The green salad is Quinoa (white and black), Israeli couscous, and arugula salad with mango juice with a bit of lemon dressing. I used the cast iron pan to brown the beef for my curry . . . then a pressure cooker. Sorry no pics as I was walking my dog as quickly as possible to get back to this.

curry !!! always a winner
Walking around the market i found some very fresh Baja Shrimps , net caught , that were too lovely to pass up so i grabbed up a pound and a half for tonights curry. This particular curry is a martinique style coconut milk curry. Ground up my curry powder consisting of: garlic, turmeric, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, chilli and added some pink salt and cubeb pepper.
De veining the shrimp didnt take too long, thank fully , fried them up lightly in the spice base, added coconut milk and some shrimp stock which i made from the shells by boiling them for 30 minutes or so. few sprigs of thyme for fragrance as well and some tamarind to finish it off (For sourness), served it on brown rice with a side of roasted zuchinni.
Curry powder ground up
Shells after stock was made
Stock
